Sexual Reproduction in Plants

Reproduction in plants takes place sexually and asexually. Majority of the flowering plants
reproduce sexually.Flowering plants were labeled by Botanist as either Angiosperm or
Anthophytes.

Angiosperm- have seeds that are enclosed in a container or case called ovary. The
angiosperms are a large group and include herbaceous plants, shrubs, grasses, and most
trees.
Anthophytes – plants that produce flowers. Their ovary is part of a flower.

The flower is the reproductive part of a plant i.e., both male and female gametes are produced
by flowers. Sexual reproduction in plants takes place in flowers.

Parts of a Flower:
Corolla – comprises petals of flowers
Calyx – comprise sepals of flowers; sepals – protect the flower while it is still a bud
Stamen – Male reproductive part
Pistil/Carpel- Female reproductive part
Receptacle/torus – supports the entire flower
Peduncle/stalk – connects the flower to the branch or stem.

The complete flower typically consists of four parts:

1.Petals
2.Sepals
3.Stamen (male reproductive part)
4.Pistil/Carpel (female reproductive part)

Stamen (male reproductive part) consists of anther and filament.

a. Anther - a sac-like structure that produces and stores pollen.
b. Filament - supports the anther.

Pistil/carpel (female reproductive part) comprises of three parts- stigma, style, and ovary.

a. Stigma – swollen tip of the pistil.

 b. Style - the long tube which connects stigma to the ovary, which functions as conveyor
to pollen tube.
c. Ovary – enlarged basal portion which contains a lot of ovules. It is the part of the plant
where the seed formation takes place.
d. Ovule – becomes the seed. When egg cell inside the ovule is fertilized, the ovule
becomes a seed.

A flower may consist of either stamen or pistil or both. Based on this, a flower can be either
unisexual or bisexual. A bisexual flower is composed of all the four parts mentioned above.
Bisexual flower - Also called a "perfect" flower because it has both male and female organs,
stamens and carpels. Unisexual flower - A flower that possesses either stamens or carpels but
not both.

1. Bisexual flower examples:

Lily, Rose, Sunflower, Tulip,
Daffodil, Hibiscus, Tomato, mango.

2. Unisexual flowers examples:

Coconut flowers, Papaya, Watermelon,
Cucumber, Maize, Bitter gourd, Tapioca,
Pumpkin, Pine.

Pollination is the process wherein male gametes found inside tiny pollen grains on the anthers
of flowers were transferred to the female ovules. It is simply the transfer of pollen grains from
the anther – male part of a flower, to the stigma – female part of a flower. Depending on the
pollen landing, pollination can be classified into two types-

1. Self-Pollination: A pollination where the pollen transfer takes place between the anther
and stigma of the same flower.
2. Cross-Pollination: A pollination where the pollen transfer takes place between the
anther and the stigma of different flowers of the same plant or different plants of the
same species.

Generally, pollination takes place with the help of certain agents so called pollinators. They
include insects, water, birds, the wind, etc.

Once pollen gets transferred to stigma the male gametes from pollen grains release and fuses
with egg in the ovule to form a zygote. This process of fusion of gametes is called fertilization.
The zygote thus formed, divides and develops into an embryo, and later into a seed. The ovary
then develops into a fruit.

Wind pollinated flowers have long stamens and pistils, are unscented, and with small or few
dull-colored petals. Plants pollinated by animals are often brightly colored and have strong
scents to attract animals.

Good pollinator animals: bees, butterflies, moths, some flies, wasps, birds and nectar -feeding
bats.

Checking of Attendance
Motivation: -food will be scarce.
-What happens if plants will not reproduce?
-You have learned about asexual
reproduction of plants. Now we will discuss
about the sexual reproduction.
